It's the small things, really

James: "I cannot watch Oprah, or I will cry."

Me: "Really?"

James: "That shit makes me cry. I cannot watch it." 


The things I learn about my husband....

He wants to run for office



James: Jessa, should I become a senator?

Me: Ummmmm, no.

James: But why not?! Probably 'cause I'm not that responsible, huh?

Me: Among other things.

James: Wow. That's cold. I could be senator...and do senaty things, and then America would have to obey me.

Me: I'm almost positive that's not how it works.

James: That's EXACTLY how it works.

[pause]

[James looks down at our dog, who is cleansing its genitals furiously.]

James: Just ask Pilot.

Me: Pilot is a dog.

James: Precisely. He is impartial.

Me:....a dog.

James: AND HE WOULD VOTE FOR ME, TOO!

[Pilot ignores the fierce political debates]

[I go back to my book]

[James fumes and mutters threats against the Death Star, the senate, and wookies]

We all need superhero ballons

Two days ago, James went to buy groceries. He came back with a superhero balloon with the Avengers plastered all over it. It's hung in our home, falling more and more dejectedly flat each day. Finally, after almost running into it I decided to ask him about it. 


Me: I can't believe you bought that thing. Three dollars wasted.

James: I need that balloon.

Me: You don't need a balloon. It's not doing anything.

James: It's doing exactly what I need it to do..just sit there...hangin' out.

Me: It's three dollars!

James: Jessa! Would you rather have three dollars or have a superhero balloon? It's like the Avengers posters, but hanging in the air on a string!

Jessa: I would rather have three dollars to buy things I actually need, not things I want.

James: Jessa, I need that balloon. It's critical. It's not a want...cause it's there.

Me: Just because something is present does not indicate an actual need for it. Like Kim Kardashian...or the Patriots.

James: Why are you saying that. That's a terrible thing to say. Just don't write that. The PATRIOTS are not something you can make fun of....they are part of our family.

Me: Just don't go buying Patriots balloons. You don't need balloons.

James [huffs]: You need tampons, right? Well this superheros balloon is my tampon. Except I don't shove it up my butt.

Me: That's not where tampons go....

James: Well, I know it's the bottom area...
